Virtual Reality

You know how young kids can go to other worlds with just their imagination and a cardboard box? Well I can go to other worlds with just a cardboard box and some technology. Thanks Google. I have the Google Cardboard Virtual Reality device, and it amazes me. I could go into the details of all you can do with it, but instead I will talk about what it is like. It allows me to, by simply putting something in from of my eyes, be suddenly transported to another reality. It can also teleport me to any place I want to go. It can even allow me to take a picture, of a room, let’s say, and then later go back to that room and look around it once more. Then, when I am done, I just take it off and I am home. That is pretty simple stuff nowadays, but not when you think about it. When you think about it, you realize that you are using some cardboard to experience other realities. Imagine what people in the past would think? Speaking of the past, remember Calvin and Hobbes? Well I remember how in some of those old comic strips, Calvin and Hobbes would go on all kinds of adventures through space and time with a cardboard box. And now we can actually do that. The person who wrote that comic would be proud. Nowadays, us humans are making our dreams come true, and taking things from science fiction and making them real. The Cardboard is just one of them. It is like putting on a pair of 3D glasses (very bulky ones) and finding yourself inside the movie. In fact, I reckon that soon we will actually do that. And someday, books will be written and drawn so you can experience them yourself, with a VR device. How cool would that be! Man, I am so glad that I live in the world of today. Because with the technology of today, you can live more than one life at once. You can live one or more virtual life(s) at once, as well as your life in reality. I reckon that by the time I am 40, Google will have brought us the sci-fi future we are all hoping for. They will purchase entire companies, and work with the best of the best technicians, inventors, scientists, and coders. Cool technology will improve the world. Diseases will be cured, and surgery will be much safer, easier, and efficient. But then, maybe humans will ruin the world before technology can fix it. Who knows. Well, I think I am satisfied with this Mind Rambling. That is what my posts like this are called. Mind Ramblings.
